Tonight's monumental tilt in St. Louis can be an important footnote in franchise lore.
All of the despair and doom and gloom was ever present when the Chicago Blackhawks went down 3-1 in their first round series with the St. Louis Blues. It felt like that hopeful playoff switch just wasn't there this time but of course as they always do, these Hawks wouldn't go down without a fight. As they have in all of their previous game seven appearances, the Hawks have rallied effectively and given themselves a shot at a new kind of history.
